Me 2, anyone happen to know when we can expect it?

I'm really considering picking up Huntress to go with Poison Ivy and comic Harley. I think those three would be awesome together.

Can't decide whether I should go with sculpted or fabric cape. Leaning towards sculpted. Going to ponder this a bit more.

Sculpted cape looks like it'd break easily, especially for the size of the statue.

define "break easily"? It's a statue, you assemble it, and display it. If there's a Tsunami or Earthquake you've got bigger problems to worry about, if it's a question of day to day rough and tumble - simply display your statues responsibly.

I love when people use pseudo "science" to justify their subjective opinion

Cloth cape will fade easily. Superman sculpted cape will make it topple easily.

We can do this with any statue all day long.

Break in transit. You didn't even understand my post but couldn't wait to offer random ramblings.

Cloth capes won't fade if you don't subject them to sunlight. As for Superman's sculpted cape... aren't you reinforcing my point?

I don't think the sculpted cape will break any easier than some of the other items statues come with that arrive intact. I'm not too worried about that since many statues come with sculpted capes.

Batman and Superman comic PFs came with hollow sculpted capes that were fairly durable. I'm sure Prime 1 will figure it out.

I've never known for many Prime 1 pieces to arrive broken, so I'm sure it'll be okay in transit. I know it does happen, but it's a rare occurrence.

They haven't released many pieces with sculpted capes and those that they did were quite thick and durable, but to the best of my knowledge I haven't seen any reports of those breaking.

But to base your purchasing decision solely on what may occur during shipping is somewhat......... as it's certainly possible that any piece from any manufacturer could end up broken in some fashion. You could end up not buying anything based on that criteria.

I think there's a greater 'chance' of chipping the cape as you're moving the statue about in your collection when setting it up, rather than during shipping.

These days, most of the larger/reputable companies use Styrofoam shells to package statues. That's fine in general, but some pieces (removable heads, hands/arms, capes, etc.) really should be protected with bubble wrap or soft foam before being placed in their compartments.

I'm glad that other companies have started using fabric capes, even for smaller scales.
